N4 Online Help Needed

Need help. I cannot join any races. Every time I try I get "Connection timed out...blah blah blah." Any thoughts? (Don't gimme NOCRAP in E-mail)

Well if you have multiple TCP/IP devices you probably need the 1.0.0.1 patch. Also if you have a dynamic IP assigned by DHCP you'll probably need to enable the 'find network addresses another way' option using the CONFIGURE button at the bottom of the main multiplayer screen. Then once you have the patch installed, after clicking the sierra.com logo in the login dialog box that appears be sure to pick the correct TCP/IP device in its "Connect Via" drop-down list. http://www.papy.com/downloads/n4.1.0.0.1.exe -- Eric "PHYDEAUX99" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Need help.

Thanks, I already ran the patch and didn't notice after running the configure connection that I had two options. Tried the other connection and was eventually able to find a race that I could get into. I think that before running the patch both of these connections showed but neither worked....after the patch I thought it was fixed because I could see races listed and never thought to try the second connection.
